46: Chapter 46 The puppy never lies

After an hour, the Ant Queen completed the Fusion, and Chi Anlin opened the gene panel once again, integrating the two major genes into the bodies of the new Ant Soldiers.

The bodies of the Ant Soldiers needed to store a sufficient amount of nutrient solution, so they could sacrifice defense and mobility to increase their size.

Molding the new Ant Soldiers into a shape resembling a caterpillar, Chi Anlin had the Ant Queen produce a new, unranked Ant Soldier.

As soon as the Ant Soldier appeared, it collapsed into a pile of flesh. Chi Anlin raised an eyebrow; it seemed he still had to sacrifice something.

Pursuing volume too much caused the bodies of the new Ant Soldiers to be extremely fragile, unable to bear their own weight at all.

Subsequently, Chi Anlin made multiple attempts, and finally, after the tenth failure, he successfully molded the new Ant Soldier.

"Let's call you Transport Ant Soldiers." Looking at his masterpiece, Chi Anlin noted that the full name of the Transport Ant Soldiers was Nutrient Transport Ant Soldiers. Even without any rank, these things were already as long as Chi Anlin's forearm.

If it were a Mortal Rank Five Ant Soldier, its size would reach that of a buffalo.

These Ant Soldiers had no combat ability and no ability to walk; they could only rely on other unit types to bring food to them.

However, such Ant Soldiers did not need to move to devour flesh and blood; they only needed to inject digestive enzymes into the bodies of the demonic beasts to directly consume the fluids inside them.

The production rate of the Transport Ant Soldiers was three times that of ordinary Ant Soldiers; if producing Mortal Rank Five Transport Ant Soldiers, he could produce 600 in one day.

However, Chi Anlin felt that at the current stage, fifty Mortal Rank Five Transport Ant Soldiers would be enough.

A single Transport Ant Soldier could store its limit of nutrient solution within a day, and this nutrient solution was sufficient to produce ten Tiger Armor Ant Soldiers of the same rank.

However, these Ant Soldiers would have to wait until tomorrow to start production.

In the evening, Chi Anlin returned to the cave. On the way, he happened to take care of a Mortal Rank Fourth Stage Rock Pig. This thing's meat was delicious, and Chu Xinying must have been hungry for a long time.

The originally lively and cheerful Chu Xinying had become somewhat reticent. Chi Anlin didn't say much; after leaving here tomorrow, Chu Xinying should feel much better.

He had stayed in this Otherworld for long enough. If he didn't leave soon, his family would be worried to death.

After finishing the roasted meat, Chi Anlin did not enter the Blood Energy Space. There had been too many battles recently, and his mind was a bit exhausted; he needed a good rest.

Chu Xinying hugged her knees, crouching beside Xiao Yue, wondering what she was thinking about.

"Little A, perhaps Xia Yan and the others are already waiting for us outside. Wang Qiang certainly wouldn't want to see you like this." After some thought, Chi Anlin took the initiative to comfort Chu Xinying.

"When we get home, have a good reunion with your family. The Azure Wolf Squad has been wiped out, so Wang Qiang has been avenged..." Just after saying this, Chu Xinying's eyes reddened again, leaving Chi Anlin feeling somewhat at a loss.

Sure enough, whether in his past life or the present, he didn't know how to coax girls into being happy.

Chu Xinying was like an injured little beast, curled up into a ball.

"I have no family. Brother Wang, Brother Summer, and everyone in the team were my family." Chu Xinying said with a sobbing tone.

"Mom died in childbirth, and Dad went to the Otherworld when I was seven and lost his life there too."

"I only had Little White left."

Chu Xinying lifted her head, her eyes full of tears, and she said forlornly: "When Dad passed away, Little White didn't eat or drink for six days and six nights, staying by Dad's grave the whole time."

"On the seventh day, Dad took Little White away, surely having scolded Little White properly."

"Dad said he would stay with me for a lifetime, and Brother Wang Qiang also said he would never leave me."

Chu Xinying's voice became increasingly hoarse, and her little face was deathly pale.

The person and the dog looked at Chu Xinying, feeling somewhat at a loss. She could no longer hold it in; her eyes filled with tears, and her sobbing grew louder.

"They always say that liars are puppies, but puppies never lie."

"Father left me, Little White left me, and even Brother Wang Qiang left me..."

"Holding on and letting go, I can't do either..."

Chi Anlin watched silently as Chu Xinying cried uncontrollably, not knowing what to say.

Perhaps he should comfort this girl properly now, but he had absolutely no experience in this area...

Fate, a thing without shape or life, always tortured proud humans into unspeakable pain.

With a gentle flip of his hand, Chi Anlin took out a jar of Monkey Wine and handed it to Chu Xinying.

He didn't know how to comfort Chu Xinying, but a long time ago, when he wanted to forget some things, he would choose to drink.

By his leg, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse kicked a stone to the side in frustration.

Then, it let out a pained whimper.

——————

Chu Xinying fell into a deep sleep again. Chi Anlin sighed softly; once they left the Otherworld, it would be fine. After all, having been teammates, he should first send her to Xia Yan and the others.

"I hope the next time you cry, it's because of happiness..." After saying this in a low voice, Chi Anlin walked to a corner, sat down, and entered the Blood Energy Space.

This turmoil made him realize that his transmigration wasn't child's play; people could really die. If he hadn't activated the Talisman, or if Xiao Yue hadn't protected him, he would have been done for when the turmoil occurred.

Nothing was more important than strength.

In one night, he spent 30,000 blood energy.

The next day...

Chi Anlin opened his bloodshot eyes, picked up Xiao Xing, and placed Chu Xinying onto Xiao Yue's back.

Today was the day to leave the Otherworld.

The Blood Wind Lotus had been planted in the Ant Queen's new base underground, where the Ant Soldiers had also dug a huge pool to store blood.

Around the Ant Queen, there were now over a hundred new Tiger Armor Ant Soldiers, providing temporary security.

After telling the Ant Queen to stay safe and develop freely, Chi Anlin rode Xiao Yue away from there, following the route given by the Ant Soldiers on the way home.

After leaving the Otherworld, he would head to a chamber of commerce over a hundred kilometers away from Zhao County to buy some precious natural treasures for Xiao Yue's synthesis.

Xiao Yue's strength would also undergo a qualitative leap.

The Ant Queen's strength increased relatively slowly, but as an independent individual, as long as he was willing to spend money and blood energy, Xiao Yue could quickly break through the Mortal Rank and enter the First Realm.

Soon, a steel fortress appeared. Chi Anlin breathed a sigh of relief; he was finally going to leave this place.

Suddenly, he saw the corpse of a spider emitting a terrifying aura and was stunned.

Beneath that spider corpse, a familiar beautiful figure stiffened, then erupted with terrifying speed and rushed toward him.
